LOL, Look who is talking bisonhunter. Do some investigating. I know that as you start to hear things that dont line up with the story you have been told or believe, you may get fed up and say,...ah bunch of conspiricy theorists. You wont do any investigating because you need someone to shake your stick at and say, bah,...the TV told me it was Terrorist. I am fresh out of tinfoil.

War against a country with WOMD...(translated here: OIL)
We needed justification for war. Do you know how much money was made from our invasions in the last 10 years. Meanwhile the US citizen sits back and thinks, we need to kill em all. Maybe we are the problem...

Mark, instead of believing everything you see on TV, try doing a little bit of reading up on the subject. Building 7 was demo'd. There was no debris that caused the stuctures integrity to be compromised. Also, many upon many in the controlled demo industry have studied the building sevens collapes. It started on multiple levels and fell into itself. Not saying you are wrong,...just do a bit of reading up on the subject. If you choose to beleive what you want to, then keep doing that.

It was only Marjiuana. It could have been worse,...he could of been caught smoking cigarettes.
Its ashame people think marijuana is a crime...against who? While its perfectly legal for my in laws doctors to prescribe uneeded medicines to line the doctors pockets.

As I sat down for lunch today I came across this racial article. I live in North Portland, right down from Jefferson High school. I just don't understand how People like the woman in this article can complain. This neighborhood used to be majority white, all white if you go back to when it was developed. But somehow it belongs to people of Color. NO way!...No matter what color you are, if you cant afford it, you have to move on. If you want to stay, figure a way to earn a better income. These urban renewal neighborhoods have experienced an incredible turnaround. This was originally a white neighborhood, but as the blacks moved in, so did most of the problems. Just sayin...Now that things are turning around, they want it to return to the "old glory of the 80s" MOVE!

I live in the Jefferson neighborhood and would send my kids there. It really is ashame that a reputation of being a "black school" prevents its residents from sending kids there. There are far more white kids in these areas than black, but you would not know that by walking into a classroom.

Something needs to change and it starts with reputation.

RIP Washington, and Adams high schools, you may have a couple more keeping you company. :-(
